Water Spotting!!!

Hello peeps,

Today I tried a technique I have attempted before, but failed at, called water spotting, which I hoped to suceed at.

Now, I have tried a different technique called water marballing before and I can safely say I totally SUCK at doing that. Lol.

When I have tried water spotting previously, I used a old perfume like some tutorials have suggested, but it just would not work for me. Then, my girl, Strawbrie (Brie) from Instagram, said she used isopropyl alcohol, so I thought I would try that instead of letting water spotting defeat me. Let me say, IT WAS A SUCESS!!!

I used a white base with MUD 'Electrify It' and an unnamed blue BeInspired polish from Kmart as the water spotting, topped with one coat of Seche Vite. See the results below!

NOTD: Tie Dye Rainbow Nails

Hello peeps,

Today I decided to do some nail art as I have been a bit slack in the nail art department lately.

This mani was actually the product of 2 failed manis. First, I tried a white base kinda thing with rainbow colours and I hated it. Then I tried an ikat pattern and hated it. So I decided to combine the 2 and this is what i came up with.

I started with a white base and with a small striping brush I did small strokes to create the shape I wanted with my first colour, which was red. Then i progressed through the colours of the rainbow, still doing small strokes, following the last colour and also kinda blending the colours where they meet. I, lastly, topped with a coat of Seche Vite.

Let me know what you think of it. Do you love it? Do you hate it?

NOTD: Nail Art with Klean Color and Sally Hansen

Hello peeps,

I haven't been doing any nail art in a while. I really haven't had time. This long weekend, I decided to have a crack at some art for my nubbins.

Here I have done a fishtail braid with Klean Colors 'Neon Aqua' and 'Neon Amethyst' and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear 'Celeb City'. I topped it with my, now, go to top coat combination of Essence Quick Dry Top Coat and Seche Vite.

Fish tail manis are so easy to do for eye catching nail art and I highly recommend anybody who hasn't done it, to give it a go. The colour combination possibilities are endless.
